Eagle Ridge is the most recently developed part of the north side, built around a commercial centre with grocery, restaurants, services and a movie theatre. It is about as close as Fort McMurray gets to walkable — you can live here and cover most of a week’s errands on foot.
The housing is new by local standards, and there is a real condo market, which is unusual in a city dominated by detached houses. For a first-time buyer or someone who does not want a yard and a driveway to shovel eight months a year, that matters.

Condo financing brings its own checks: lenders review the condo corporation’s reserve fund study, estoppel certificate and financial statements. A weak reserve fund can affect the approval, not just your monthly fees — get the documents early.
